The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1016: That’s True

"Moreover, this glass is a toast to you, plain water cannot represent my sincerity." She pushed aside the glass of water, picked up a glass of wine again, and raised it to Shen Ji, her face adorned with a bright smile.

Shen Ji saw that she took a low-alcohol fruit wine and didn’t insist, shaking his head helplessly with a smile, "You..."

Then raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

The two of them sipped from their glasses, tilting their heads back for a sip of the wine.

Shen Ji put down his glass, looked at Ling Qingan, observing the subtle smile on her face, his gaze gentle, "Congratulations to you too, Qingan, LG is now on the right track."

Ling Qingan waved it off, "It’s all thanks to Xiao Ran."

Hearing this, Shen Ji glanced at the bustling crowd and couldn’t help but lament, "Xiao Ran is indeed amazing."

He smiled again and turned his gaze back to Ling Qingan, "But you are also remarkable, LG’s initial development didn’t rely on Xiao Ran."

"Hmm..." Ling Qingan was silent for two seconds, then nodded without hesitation, "That’s true."

Seeing her expression of ’indeed so,’ Shen Ji couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Watching the two conversing and laughing, the fury in Wen Jichen’s heart surged even more turbulently, the girl’s smile radiant and bright, yet particularly glaring.

When Yin Xiner found him, the man’s face remained expressionless, yet the icy aura around him made her heart tremble slightly.

"Jichen, what are you doing here?"

She held a glass of wine in her hand, walking over to Wen Jichen under the admiring glances of the crowd.

Wen Jichen’s tall figure didn’t move an inch, his expression unchanged, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

On the surface, Yin Xiner appeared calm, but inside, she was extremely flustered.

Why was she flustered?

Perhaps because although he usually kept his emotions concealed, today, there was a pervasive air of chilliness and coldness around him.

He rarely showed anger, and emotional outbursts were almost nonexistent.

No like, no hate, no joy, no sorrow, this was his usual state.

All along, nobody and nothing could affect his emotions, and she was used to his indifference and ruthlessness.

Maybe that’s just how he is at heart, she used to tell herself.

But now, she could clearly sense his anger, his restraint, his emotional fluctuations.

Anger unsettled her even more than not being angry.

And reality was telling her that this was not the case.

Raising her gaze, she looked past the swimming pool towards the woman across, whose face was full of joy, her eyes flickering slightly.

She would rather Jichen be a cold and unfeeling person by nature.

Yin Xiner lowered her gaze, a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, she scanned the scene and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is amazing, almost everyone from Qianran International’s celebration party is here, even many from other circles have come."

As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently swept over Ling Qingan, she took a small sip of the wine in her hand and continued, "I originally wanted to try my luck today, to see if I could have an opportunity to collaborate with Sister-in-law, but I didn’t expect..."

Yin Xiner sighed, full of regret, looking at Wen Jichen.

Unexpectedly, Wen Jichen’s tall figure still did not move an inch, his dark eyes slowly sliding to the corner of his eyes, glancing at her indifferently from the corner of his eye.

Yin Xiner bit her lip, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

Turning her eyes, she saw Su Ran, Ye Zhichen, and another figure.

Her eyes flickered slightly, she tugged at the man beside her.
